Are you self-conscious about your crooked teeth or misaligned jaw? Do you suffer from pain and discomfort while eating or speaking? Orthodontic surgery may be the solution you need to transform your smile and improve your oral health.
Orthodontic surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is a surgical procedure that corrects skeletal and dental irregularities in the jaw and teeth. It is often recommended for patients with severe malocclusions, jaw discrepancies, or facial asymmetry.
The surgery is typically performed by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon in collaboration with an orthodontist. Prior to the surgery, the patient undergoes a comprehensive evaluation to determine the extent of the problem and the appropriate treatment plan.
During the surgery, the surgeon repositions the jawbones to align them properly and may also reposition the teeth. In some cases, the surgeon may also use bone grafts or implants to improve the alignment and symmetry of the face.
Orthodontic surgery offers numerous benefits, including:
Improved Oral Health: Correcting malocclusions and jaw discrepancies can reduce the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Orthodontic surgery can transform your smile and improve your facial appearance, boosting your self-confidence and self-esteem.
Better Functionality: Correcting bite issues and jaw discrepancies can improve speech and make eating and chewing more comfortable and efficient.
Long-lasting Results: Orthodontic surgery provides permanent results that can last a lifetime with proper maintenance and care.
If you are considering orthodontic surgery, it is important to choose an experienced and qualified oral and maxillofacial surgeon who can provide personalized care and guidance throughout the treatment process.
